Lady Galyne Borrell

Status: Free!

I've used her in a small fic before, but I didn't like where it was going so I deleted it. Galyne grew on me, though, so I would love to see someone using her for their own imagine / fic / drabble <3 Send me a PM, an ask or reblog if you are interested in using her for a story :)

Lady Galyne Borrell of Sweetsister

House: Borrell

Region: The Vale

Parents: Father Waylar Borrell (dead), Mother Sanda Longthorpe. No siblings, but has living male Borrell cousins.

Time: Can be used for every era. During the Dance of the Dragons, Jacaerys Velaryon got the Borrell's support for House Black. The Borell's overlords - the Sunderlands - got them involved into the Blackfyre Rebellions. Ned Stark sailed from Sweetsister to White Harbor. Ser Davos Seaworth is left on Sweetsister in ASOIAF.

Age: 19

Religion: Faith of the Seven

Marital Status: Single

Spice level: ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🖤🖤

Personality: Galyne is relatively quiet and modest. She usually bites back most remarks and even though she is not well-versed in courtly life, she can adapt very well through her stoic attitude. She is a fast learner and even though she tends to be quite distant and even ruthless when the situation escalates, she is generally a pious, well-meaning young woman. She is very proud of her heritage and will defend it to great lengths.

Physical Appearance: She is described by others as 'plain and awfully average'. She's chubby, of average height and has green eyes. Galyne has remarkably long, wavy mouse-brown hair, which she takes great pride in. She is relatively pale, has ruddy cheeks and a smattering of freckles over the bridge of her nose.

Special quirks: She tends to embroider the Borrell crab on every dress she wears. Because she is a Borell, she has 'the mark' - a sort of webbing between her three middle fingers.

Face Claim: None

Moodboard prompts: Dark Sea, Sea Storms, Irish coast, siren aesthetic.

Considering noblewomen aren’t expected to cook in Westerosi society, is it therefore implied it would be embarrassing for Lord Borrell to brag about his granddaughter being a great cook if he were talking to a proper lordly lord, and not Davos of House Seaworth? Like, the equivalent of bragging that she really knows how to dig a ditch or something?

Its more of a sign that House Borrell is pretty far down the pecking order and thus closer to smallfolk than your traditional mainland lord. Also, keep in mind, the Borrells are Sistermen. They probably don't give two f*cks what some snotty-nosed blueblood from the Vale or savage northron thinks.

Edit: Can you blame him for being proud though? Sister's stew sounds utterly delicious.

Thanks for the question, anon

"The Freys were bringing the fat fool a bag of bones. Some call that courtesy, to bring a man his dead son's bones. Had it been my son, I would have returned the courtesy and thanked the Freys before I hanged them, but the fat man's too noble for that."

You're right, he's too noble to kill *guests*

I made a list of every single asioaf house I could find and put it in alphabetical order. There may be a few houses missing but as of right now there are 496 houses written down. There may be some doubles, if so I apologize but when I tried to recheck it my tablet (which I used to write this) froze. I wrote this on my notes app. This includes houses from all game of Thrones media, video games, the adaptations, the books hotd and anything else I could find. I hope that whoever stumbles across this uses it because this took way to long for just me to use. (BTW houses from essos and YI-TI are includes)

Their angel AU art

note: This is NOT what i think Darling looks like, its just easier to draw Darling as myself rather than a gray y/n.

do not repost my art &lt;3 notes: i wrote this before bed please forgive me if its bad or a bit weird.

I've been thinking of Otto n Darlings first kiss.. perhaps she had heard during a walk around the castle and passing the Council Room she heard a rather heated conversation...

"Betrothal" and her own name being amidst it. She's wrought with worry and the next morning she's walking around the royal garden, Otto comes to find her (often they like to eat breakfast with each other,,, she tends to eat half a breakfast with her targaryen family and the other half with Otto)

She brings up with she heard in the council room, Otto admits that... talk of betrothing her to someone was brought up, a few suggestions made but no real answer has been found. She asks who the suggestions were, she wishes to know who she will be bound to.

Otto names a few, A beesbury boy, Lord Godric Borrel of House Borrel, and some other minor ones... and Otto himself. Darling thinks to herself and Otto apologises(even if its fake lol), the king wanted to keep her around and Otto suggested himself.

"i wouldn't mind.." she says, stepping closer, "you.. you are kind. You are honest, and at the very least i do know you." she is so close that her head is tilting up to look at him now.

They lean closer n closer,,, Otto's hand is on her hip. "Is this what you want?" he whispers,

"yes." her voice is soft and hot against his lips, so close now. So close.

Her hands feel his beard, sitting upon his cheeks and pulling him down to close the mere inch between them. Their lips meet for the first time, pressing her body against his, almost trying to meld their bodies into one.

This is what he craved for, this is what his body yearned for. Her. To make her his wife, even if he had to steal her to Oldtown and keep her from everyone else. He'd do it.

tehee, i wrote this when it was almost midnight, and i have work tmw,,, but i am working on the third installation for the au !! :)

Who would have Daeron I Targaryen "the Young Dragon" married?

Credits to @wweskywalker

I think that regarding to who would have become Daeron I's queen is very interesting.

Obviously, many (including myself) ship Daeron I x Daena, but at this moment that the Dragons had died the matter for the Targaryens was to still be at the top and keep their power, in order to survive Daeron would have to wed someone outside of his immediate family to gain more allies and power for the future Targaryens he would potentially sire.

Daeron I wanted to prove himself by conquering and bringing Dorne into the fold of Westeros and being known as the First Official King of the Seven Kingdoms.

We know he was allied with the many lords, such as the Tyrells one of whom he made Governor of Dorne, but his greatest allies were the Velaryons as they helped him greatly with the Conquest. The influence of House Velaryon was so great that when Alyn and Elaena got involved years later it was seen as a love story rather than adultery (also because Aegon IV had bigger scandals.)

In the case Daeron had lived and wed one day, he had to marry an extremely powerful and advantageous match for the benefit of the Targaryen dynasty, specially in that moment since they had conquered Dorne.

Chances are there were possible choices in The Vale as they had one of the greatest armies of Westeros, it could have been a maiden from House Arryn, Royce, Hunter, Borrell, Shett, Upcliff, etc. They all were powerful houses on their own and Daeron needed all the support he could get if his reign was to be successful, also they could have been highly trained to be an ideal queen consort and per alliance.

Other choice was marrying a Velaryon cousin, like Laena (Baela's daughter) or a Velaryon lady from another branch, in a way of showing the realm their Valyrian Exceptionalism still proved the strength of the Targaryens.

Other choice is that Daeron could have looked for an alliance with the Triarchy in fixing their relationship and wedding a woman with Valyrian heritage from there or a daughter of the Sealord of Braavos with Valyrian blood, doing both, keeping his Valyrian blood pure and getting an alliance.

Now, had Daeron noticed that a marriage between Baelor and Daena was pointless, he would have needed to arrange for Baelor to be a Septon and wed Daena to another ally, whether from The Vale or a son of Baela and Alyn or a Crownlands lord.

If Rhaena was convinced she needed to gain more power for the Targaryens, she would have been a scholar and fund charities convincing the smallfolk the gods loved the Targaryens and been wed to the Sealord of Braavos as we are told from semi-canon.

LA ABADESA (2024)

Synopsis

In the 9th century, Emma of Barcelona (c. 880-942), a 17-year-old girl, is named abbess in order to repopulate and Christianize border territories in 897. Upon arriving at the abbey, she will have to overcome the mistrust aroused by a woman determined to fulfill her mission, which will lead her to confront nobles, like her brother Count Guifré II Borrel of Barcelona (874-911), peasants and the nuns themselves. Despite everything, Emma will show that it is possible to challenge established power structures. Although she will pay a high price to get it...

Emma is willing to carry out the commission of her deceased noble father, Count Guifré I of Barcelona, Guifré el Pilós (840-897), founder of the House of Barcelona: convert the abbey that he founded in 885, the Monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses, for which she is now responsible into the engine of change and transformation of a society that comes down. She must help with all her resources to help the lands that are emptied due to hunger caused by border wars, which in turn are a consequence of the ambitions of the feudal lords of the area.

Emma acquired small or large properties with which the monastery came to have a territory equivalent to that of a county. Her sovereignty was also similar to that of a countess: by concession from her father, her domains were exempt from all interference from the neighboring counts, whom she knew how to oppose with resistance.

On cinemas: Friday 22 March

Filming began in January 2023 at the Loarre Castle, and included scenes filmed at the Turó de la Seu Vella, until concluding at the end of February 2023.

Considering noblewomen aren’t expected to cook in Westerosi society, is it therefore implied it would be embarrassing for Lord Borrell to brag about his granddaughter being a great cook if he were talking to a proper lordly lord, and not Davos of House Seaworth? Like, the equivalent of bragging that she really knows how to dig a ditch or something?

Dig a ditch is going a bit far, but the fact that Lord Burrell thinks it’s something to brag about is kind of a sign of how the Borrells, by nature of the location of their lands, are effectively closer to (still prosperous, let’s not go crazy here) smallfolk than they would be on the mainland. It’s almost a bit nouveau riche, in that he’s bragging about something that people of his class are supposed to know not to talk about.

It reminds me a bit of Lynesse Hightower being out of synch with Bear Island’s culture - I imagine that, in a fiefdom like Bear Island, being a good cook would be considered a good thing for a noblewoman, because getting skilled staff is difficult and good food makes a big difference on a stormy winter night, whereas the rules are different in Oldtown.

@mryoyo000​ reblogged your post “I apologize if this is a question you've already...”

Thanks so much for this great answer! Generally speaking, I am more engaged with the main series ASOIAF than with the histories, but this whole backstory is really intriguing to me. I also wonder what Sansa and Serena’s religious upbringing and practice was like, if they worshipped both the Old Gods and the Seven or only one. My first guess is that, if they were part of the faith of the Seven (even alongside faith of the old gods), they might have felt that anyone contesting their claims to Winterfell would try to use that against them. I might be just really overthinking this, though.

On the contrary, I could very well see some of that speculation coming true. I don’t know how much Sansa and Serena officially worshipped the Faith of the Seven (the fact that Ned built the sept at Winterfell for Catelyn suggests to me that a sept did not exist at Winterfell prior to Ned’s time as lord), but even if they did not or they kept it in a more limited or unofficial way (or kept both faiths, as we see to varying degrees among Ned and Catelyn’s children), I could see where their faith or purported faith in the Seven might have been used against them as claimants to the leadership of House Stark. Compare, say, the rumors about Larra Rogare and her faith - specifically that after the future King Aegon IV’s birth “the city heard that his mother meant to have him blessed by her own gods as well, and rumors of obscene ceremonies in the Mermaid and blood sacrifice in Maegor’s Holdfast began to be heard on the streets of King’s Landing” - and I think there could well have been similar rumors about Rickon’s daughters. How hard would it have been to suggest that their mother, Jeyne Manderly, had smuggled in a septon to bless her daughters in the light of the Seven, and/or that she sought to raise her daughters to forsake the gods of their (Stark) ancestors for those of the (post-Andal) Manderlys - especially if Jeyne herself still worshiped the Seven (again, privately or unofficially or in any otherwise limited capacity)? 

In what may well have been a tense and divided atmosphere within Winterfell, especially after Rickon’s death - with perhaps no certainty as to who should be the next ruler of Winterfell - any faction might have used any advantage against any other faction to gain political advantage. Consequently, any supporters of Cregan’s sons by Lynara succeeding ahead of Rickon’s daughters might have sought to craft a socio-politico-religious narrative against Jeyne and her children: the Manderlys were (to paraphrase Godric Borrell) no true northmen, Cregan Stark had erred in wedding this impious Manderly to his heir, she had proven the Manderlys were no good by only bearing daughters (compare, say, the complaints in Duskendale about Serala Darklyn, that if only Denys Darklyn had wed a Stokeworth or another local aristocrat the Defiance would never have happened), surely she was maliciously raising these daughters to reject the old gods and the very essence of House Stark, and of course that could not be allowed to happen. Just as I suspect there will be a mix of reasons brought up by the various interested factions against the claims of the Stark children converging on Winterfell, so I think it’s entirely possible a religious component was brought it to argue against the claims of Sansa and Serena Stark as heirs to Winterfell (a parallel which I think may be further explored in the for-now-called “The She-Wolves of Winterfell”).
